I just released my first Pilates DVD last Friday that is a full body stretch sequence for beginner and advanced viewers. It sparked a bit of debate…
I often get asked why did I choose to do a stretching routine for my first project over a Pilates workout or toning related DVD. People often look at me with a vague look on their face trying to understand the importance of flexibility as obviously having a tight little butt ranks higher on the desires list than full body flexibility ever will. Although having a tight tooshy is obviously aesthetically pleasing, I don’t think people realise the need for full body flexibility and why we need to stretch and how not stretching can stop your journey on the land to the tight little butt (more of this later on). When I thought about this DVD I thought about my clients and what they needed, the first thing that came to mind was flexibility. Basically, the majority of people’s flexibility sucks. No sugar coating right there. But they don’t stretch so honestly, I’m not surprised. You can’t expect to pick up a microphone and belt like a tune like Beyonce if you don’t practice so they same goes for stretching.
